C'mon you guys! PP&M's music was some of the best folk music we've ever had - except for their anti-war songs. Take a look at their early songs - many were very Christian and some were very patriotic - others, like the Garden Song were simply fun to work with. Stookey's Marriage Song ("He is now to be among us...") is still one of the best, too. And truth be told, most of us agree with the desires expressed in the anti-war rhetoric, but unlike them, we realize that it is fallacy to expect imperfect human beings to ever attain such a state.

They were very good artists - but I wouldn't want a Dali or Escher painting on the front of the White House.

All the rest of your comments about not wanting them anywhere near the WH and not wanting to relive the '60s I wholeheartedly agree with.

I'm sorry I just can't get into their music. Never could. That's just my taste though. :-)

Unfortunately, I now associate their music with the democrats, which is a killer artictically for me. The only reason I liked their music back in the day was that it was easy to sing along with, unlike some other performers.

Now if you want to talk about the late Jim Croce, I am and will always be a fan.

Besides, Peter Paul and Mary remind me of that old Gallagher routine..."I'm still stuck in the sizxties.."

And, you must admit this song about going to jail for justice is really lame! LOL!
